Israeli attack on Gaza schools, potential crime against humanity

According to the Independent report, the International Investigation Commission (COI) reports that Israeli forces have damaged or completely destroyed more than 90 percent of schools and universities through airstrikes, shelling, arson and planned destruction.

The destruction took place after the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas by October 2021, which caused more than 5.5 million children to education in Gaza and many of them could not go to school for almost two years.

“We are constantly seeing these national hints that Israel is conducting a well -planning campaign, whose goal is to completely eradicate Palestinian life in Gaza,” said Chairman of the Independent Investigation Commission.

“Israel will not only harm the existing generations to notice the educational, cultural and religious life of the Palestinians, but will also prevent the coming generations of their self-exploration.”

The buildings are converted into military bases

The COI provided the documentary evidence in his report, according to which the Israeli army occupied several educational institutions and converted them into military bases.

One of these examples is the Al-Mughaka campus of Al-Azhar University, which was converted to the Jewish worship site for the military.

According to the report, a case has also been raised for the use of Hamas fighters for military purposes.

Human rights experts have noted that such behavior is a violation of international humanitarian law, where the clear difference between citizens (schools, hospitals, etc.) and military bases is compulsory.

Religious places

More than half of the religious and cultural sites in Gaza were damaged or they were completely destroyed. These include many places where ordinary people (women and children) were also taking shelter. Hundreds of people were killed in the attack.

The Commission has said that the Israeli forces knew or knew the cultural importance of these sites, yet they harm them.

Israeli officials captured several cultural heritage sites representing Palestinians, Jews and other cultures on the west coast, developed them and then took financial benefits from them. Palestinian residents living there were displaced.

Israel is either completely stopped or imposed very strict restrictions on the Palestinians’ reaching on these sites.

The navel Pillai said that religious and cultural practices, memories and history were deeply affected by the attack on religious and cultural sites.

He said, “Heritage sites are to limit and destruction, to limit their access, and to eliminate their various historical traditions, weaken the Historical Tihasik relationship of the Palestinians, and damage their collective identity.”

Recommendation

The Independent Commission has demanded Israel to immediately stop attacking cultural, religious and educational institutions and to occupy these institutions and ban military use.

The Commission also told Israel that it should end its occupation and settlement activities, especially in those fields that are of religious and cultural importance. Also, the orders of the International Court Court (ICJ) must be fully followed.

Investigators have called on Palestinian authorities to ensure the protection and protection of cultural heritage sites related to various cultures and the civil buildings must be stopped for military purposes.

Increase the human crisis

Meanwhile, UN agencies have once again issued a warning about the declining human crisis in Gaza. UN children’s funds have said that improving their conditions is fully dependent on sufficient diet and frequent care.

“Large -scale relief materials should be allowed to enter Gaza for children’s health and life protection.”

Chief Philip Lazarini, the UN Assistance Agency (UNRWA) for Palestinian refugees, has expressed deep concern over the delay and obstruction of relief goods.

He urged the United Nations to provide safe ways to bring Israel to Gaza and to safely distribute relief material to Gaza.

“The only way to avoid a large size starvation with 10 million children” ”

Chief Lazarini, the United Nations Agency, warned that there was daily assistance and where there was responsibility for security with Israeli and private security forces, there were reports of injured and injured in the distribution centers. These centers are now becoming “traps of death” every day.

He describes the distribution system as contemptible, where thousands of hungry and helpless people are forced to walk miles to relieve, on the other hand, people living in the vulnerable and far -reaching areas are completely deprived of this assistance.
